❧  CNRS LAMOP Le Mystère des Actes des Apôtres The Mystery of the Apostles' Acts by Simon Gréban is the largest production in the history of western theatre. Written towards the middle of the 1470s for the account of King René of Anjou and using almost 500 characters, its monumental scale (60 000 lines playing over nine days) has discouraged academic editors up until now. The text is known by two series of manuscripts and three printed versions from the sixteenth century. Two productions are documented: one in Bourges (at Arênes, 1536) and one in Paris (at the Flanders Hotel, 1541). Project EELMAA The aim of the online electronic edition of The Mystery of the Apostles' Acts is to make available a new, full-scale source document both for linguists and for historians. It will be of relevance to the study of ecclesiastical and reformation history, as well as to the history of the theatre, of literature and of language.

 In Subtle Intricacies , Swarnim Agrawal reflects on what it means to write about mental health in a time when its language is widely circulated, commodified, and often simplified. Partly inspired by personal experience, the collection resists clinical coldness and instead dwells in the intimate textures of everyday life - fleeting moods, quiet insecurities, relational fractures, and moments of becoming. These poems explore how ordinary experiences carry emotional weight long before they acquire diagnostic names. Through subtle tonal shifts and lyrical vulnerability, the collection seeks conversation over categorisation, offering readers companionship, recognition, and an expanded vocabulary for mental health and human connection. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Swarnim is currently pursuing her PhD at the Amity Institute of English Studies and Research. She holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Exeter. Her work has appeared in journals and anthologies, and she performs at open m...

  TRAMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE  "FICTION AND TOURISM" - Call for papers The cultural and tourism industries are experiencing an increasing convergence of interests. Tourism managers are turning to fictional content as an ally in the promotion of their destination and its cultural and natural heritage. The capacity of television series, films, literature, and video games to induce tourism is informing destination marketing strategies. The interest in the imaginaries created by popular fiction can help both to deseasonalize or redirect visitor flows and to put destinations that previously attracted little attention on the tourist map. Topics The relationship between fiction and tourism is a very active field of research. With this in mind, the second edition of the TRAMA Conference, under the title “Fiction and Tourism,” invites researchers to submit papers of an analytical, theoretical, or methodological nature that address any of the following topics : Effects of fiction on...
